Traversed Lutsen, MN this past weekend and we found some seriously gnarly volcanic rock shelves right off Lake Superior.

Landscape here feels criminally underrated. Turns out lichen-covered basalt with random vertical cracks and ledges makes for the best natural crawling terrain I’ve run on all year.

Green rivalry is my Vanquish VRD Carbon “Grasshopper” straight-axle 4WS still chasing a cleaner gear ratio, but she claws up near-vertical faces like it’s nothing.

Silver aluminum/black rig is my brother’s Axial 1/8 Gilamon build, annoyingly outperforming me on every single line approach being that it’s a longer/wider platform (plus a more competent driver)…

Apologies, too new to 1/10th scale and hoping you awesome people can help ensure I’m not skipping something important!

Would aluminum rear portals make sense for a mullet setup here?
